If I ventured in the slipstream
Between the viaducts of your dream
Where mobile steel rims crack
And the ditch in the back roads stopCould you find me?
Would you kiss-a my eyes?
To lay me down in silence easy
To be born again, to be born againFrom the far side of the ocean
If I put the wheels in motion
And I stand with my arms behind me
And I'm pushin' on the doorCould you find me?
Would you kiss-a my eyes?
To lay me down in silence easy
To be born again, to be born againThere you go standin' with the look of avarice
Talkin' to Huddie Ledbetter
Showin' pictures on the wall
Whisperin' in the hall
And pointin' a finger at meThere you go, there you go
Standin' in the sun darlin'
With your arms behind you
And your eyes before
There you goTakin' care of your boy
Seein' that he's got clean clothes
Puttin' on his little red shoes
I see you know he's got clean clothesA puttin' on his little red shoes
A pointin' a finger at me
Standing in your sad arrest
Trying to do my very bestLookin' straight at you
Comin' through, darlin'
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeahIf I ventured in the slipstream
Between the viaducts of your dreams
Where mobile steel rims crack
And the ditch in the back roads stopCould you find me?
Would you kiss-a my eyes?
To lay me down in silence easy
To be born again, to be born again
To be born again, to be born againIn another world, darlin'
In another world
In another time
Got a home on highAin't nothing but a stranger in this world
I'm nothing but a stranger in this world
I got a home on high in another land
So far away, so far awayWay up in the heaven, way up in the heaven
Way up in the heaven, way up in heaven, oh
In another time, in another place
In another time, in another placeWay up in the heaven
In another time, in another place
In another time, in another place
In another face
